Sunlight mediated seasonality in canopy structure and photosynthetic activity of Amazonian rainforests

Resolving the debate surrounding the nature and controls of seasonal variation in the structure and metabolism of Amazonian rainforests is critical to understanding their response to climate change. In situ studies have observed higher photosynthetic and evapotranspiration rates, increased litterfal...
